      Hi,

       

      > How can that be ignored?

      In this case you should follow the way mentioned in the Note section of the referenced help topic.

      I.e. you should pre-process both master and actual XML documents (using the native XML processing functions) and remove nodes and/or attributes that must be ignored and run comparison after this.
